ISLAMABAD: A visiting faculty of Karachi University was reportedly kidnapped by unknown men from Benazir Bhutto Islamabad International Airport soon after he landed in the twin cities, ARY Mews reports.

According to a local news agency, the educationist named Aamir Alamgir went missing after he arrived at Islamabad Airport in Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight PK-378.

Registrar Muazzam Ali Khan, whom Alamgir had accompanied to Islamabad, filed the missing complaint which was registered in the daily crimes section. Law enforcement agencies have launched the search for the missing professor.

Meanwhile, SSP Operations Karamat Ullah Malik stated that the missing assistant has been found in Lahore and informed the authorities that a person inside the airport told him to sit in his car and was brought to Lahore. He also told the cops that he had only Rs. 3600 with him, SSP said.

Malik added that a team has been sent to Lahore to bring the professor back to Islamabad.
